Obviously, just like any other school, if you put your mind to it, study, and do the work, you'll learn. Putting in effort to what you want to accomplish is the key. I am currently a freshman and am about to finish my 1st semester here. I'm taking 4 class (16 units) and it's fairly difficult, but manageable. All of my professors are great. I have no complaint about any of them whatsoever. Also, they are very reasonable, and depending on the professor/t.a., will give you some slack if you have any trouble with...

While there isn't much in the town, the campus is beautiful and fairly new. The library and classrooms are all large, and since it is a smaller school, the classes aren't as impacted as the other UCs. Plus if you are into environmentally friendly things, like me, then you will be amazed by how eco-friendly this school is.

This university is pretty amazing aside from it being secluded. It has a beautiful lake in walking distance, although the town doesn't offer much entertainment. This school provides a good environment to study and get work done

Merced is a great school! It is small & convenient to get to classes in good timing. I'm too much of a city girl for this place though, so its not exactly for me but I love that I am able to get all of my classes & learn from the best professors.

UCM has a ton of opportunities if you pursue them. It's easy to get classes, financial aid, and research experience. Overall, a pretty laid back school where students don't have much to worry about other than their academics.

UC Merced is focused on the success of its students. The campus isn't too large, and isn't too small easier. Professors and advisers at UC Merced are extremely helpful and clearly put education as a top priority.
